NOTE: Hey, Floridians! John and I will be at the Orlando Public Library Saturday, Dec. 12th, at 2PM. Here's your chance to stock up on signed copies of Cake Wrecks, aka "the perfect stocking stuffer." ;) Go here for details, and to RSVP.

Both yesterday's and today's posts were terrific! I love that you included "snuffleupagus"!I've found my turkey, but I have not found my turkey cake. OK, that's not fair, as I haven't been looking. I think I'll pass given the range of specimens available...

um, Jen, not to nitpick, but won't the library slightly frown upon the fans stocking up on their copies of Cake Wrecks?? either that, or that's one sucky present if you have to return it to the library...

But if he's a bank robber, why is *he* sticking up his cute little twig arms in the air? Well, I suppose it would go with the slipping 'kerchief. Maybe he just got busted by one of those redneck-shotgun-shell-wedding-cakes.

First loved meeting you in atlanta.second, my co-worker think i am insane. i was laughing at spoon and demon snuffleupagus... from Rio when i saw the Cthulhu! will you come and help me out, the people in the white coats are not very nice.

Flipping Ada, I am sitting here killing myself laughing....what are you doing to us??We don't even celebrate Thanksgiving in England (why would we?) but I could still do a better Thanksgiving cake than any of those, cos, well, I know what a turkey looks like.It's not rocket science, after all, it's a BIRD!!!Oh, I shall have to go lie down in a darkened room for a bit, my stomach is hurting!!

This year I am thankful for the stunning creations of these cake decorators, that their bountiful specialized giftedness crossed your path, and that you share them with us. Keep counting the blessings!

OMG!! Mushroom Cloud is not a turkey at all! It's Lady Tottington from "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit!" They forgot her teeth. Or maybe they were aiming for a clown or Gumby in a wig, but they GOT Lady T!

Burning man looks like a ghost with an eerie glow around him. Or like something in the opening of an old James Bond film. (The silhouette of a villain he shot, perhaps?)

WV elansess: If the wreckerator wore elansess maybe they could SEE these weren't turkeys!

Our Lady of Guadalupe--I can totally see that, folks! Especially with the colors.

btw, does it bother anybody else that these turkeys have real foot issues? Burning man has wheels, snuffy has appendages sticking out straight from his torso, bagel face has a really WIDE stance, intestinal fortitude has no feet, and Cthulhu/Guadalupe is totally levitating. The feet aren't attached at all!

WV: fortness. the kind of strength you need to look at these retch-inducing wrecks.

Hi, my boss sent me your web page today, and I did laugh out loud at some of the pictures. But I'm not sure I'm getting the joke. The only BAD cake is one I can't eat, and I wouldn't have a problem eating any of those turkey cakes. Now the ones with the plastic and the sticks might pose a bit of a problem.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
